I also note that Travis, Williams and Salisbury have yet to sign. If they do, we will have a squad of 23 before recruitment. How many more can the budget allow for?
So what about Travis? He can't have signed so should he be given a chance to sign or should he be given an ultimatum?
Its always a problem when you have a player, or in our case 3 players, who are still under contract who will probably not be playing much next season and the likes of Murphy get released. Its unfortunate and we do have too many players still under contract, Morris will have to look at getting some of them out on loan and make room for some new players. One thing is for certain is that out of the 23 players we still have left under contract, we have a starting 11 who will struggle in league 2, we are probably short of about 4 or 5 decent players. Last year we got in the numbers without the quality, this season we have to bring in some quality as we already have the numbers, but does our budget allow for that, Lowery and Mandron will be difficult to replace and our midfield looks extremely weak.
